dc.description.abstract

The authors present results obtained by a combination of clinical and empirical methods used in the evaluation of psychic
change involving a single case study carried out during 2 years of nonmanualized psychodynamic psychotherapy (Barber &
Crits-Christoph, 1993; Barber, Foltz, DeRubeis, & Landis, 2002). A multidimensional definition of change that includes
clinical (psychoanalytic) and empirical perspectives is provided. The authors used material from supervision sessions and
clinical meetings to assess the psychodynamic diagnosis and evolution. The following empirical techniques and instruments
were used: core conflictual relationship theme (Luborsky & Crits-Christoph, 1990), Symptom Checklist-90-Revised
(Derogatis, 1983), and Differential Elements for a Psychodynamic Diagnostic (C. M. Lo´pez Moreno et al., 1998). Several
markers of psychic change along the therapeutic process were found. The instruments proved to be sensitive to the changes
obtained during the psychotherapy. Used together, the instruments allowed an integrated evaluation of the patient’s
evolution during the treatment.
